Do you believe in Ghosts? Do you live life following your heart while chasing your dreams, or do you do what is expected of you?

Torn between her heart and her head. Doreen Lowe is at a crossroads and tackling some of the biggest decisions of her life. Her head is spinning, should she be listening to her ghosts and fulfilling family obligations or should she carve her own path and find out who she really is? What will she do? What would you do?

Excerpt from Kay Muppetson.com

In the novel Penguin Luck, Doreen Lowe is a young, sophisticated junior associate in a small Manhattan law firm that primarily serves the lower echelons of society. Regularly visited by three ghosts, Doreen is forced to listen to their pleas that she “carry on for them”- after the Holocaust- all while balancing the demands of her career and personal life.

Penguin Luck is a compelling tale about one woman’s emotional journey as she learns to cope with a burdensome family history, a trio of determined ghosts, and the power of luck.

Penguin Luck, by Kay Muppetson, will have you feeling for Doreen as she struggles to reconcile the past and the present…the ghosts that haunt her with the future. Doreen may be dealing with ghosts, but she is also struggling with the classic “family obligation”. How much of our lives do we spend living for ourselves, how much of it is given up for others? Doreen’s family, like all of ours is evolving. As the story unfolds we see how the decisions we make influence not only our future but those of our children and those who love us most.

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
